What a crock of crap. Even their title was crap
"New Edition Of 'Huckleberry Finn' Will Eliminate Offensive Words"

How 'bout
"New Edition Of Huckleberry Finn Will Eliminate 'Offensive Words'".

Morons.

Yes I realize a proper title should be in quotes, but 'Offensive Words' is their term/opinion and deserves quotes of its own.

Well, with a "half-breed" now occupying the White House, we gotta get with the program....

Also, we have to include "diversity" in the story to include faggots/dykes.

It doesn't matter what the Author wrote; we have to indoctrinate youth in the Publik Skoolz to get with the Agenda.....

History must be destroyed (think the libs), so they can tell us what history is without all these books and things from those times telling us how it really was. How inconvenient - to get history from something written during that time than to have it filtered through a liberal mouthpiece.

Why, we might actually gain an understanding of how we got to where we are now, instead of listening to the libs scream and rail at some kind of "patriarchal society" holding us all back for "its" own gain.

I wonder if anyone is going to try to clean up Alex Haley’s book “Roots” in the same way? Can you imagine the uproar if someone suggested that?

They may be takin’ the words out of the books, but they aren't takin’ em out of the mouths of the babes readin’ them books. Under 40’s use more profanity that actual words. I wonder what the vocabulary lists in today's high schools look like?

Wow! We were just talking about this. I equate this to book burning.

Then it will be something other than Huck Finn... regardless of what any fagot says.

Next the book should be rendered gender neutral. Instead of say “he” or “him” it should read “person”. And age neutral (read “time challenged”) and all references to species preference (read “biological unit”). Now to work on that title.
